Hi, I know how you feel. Often diabetes makes us all feel down and you are not alone. Sometimes, I just want to say "sod it" and give up. I just try and see every day as a new exercise book in school - a fresh page or whatever. You can start a fresh every day. Have you tried altering your...

Cholesterol from 5.1 to 4.7. Thanks for all your replies. :D

Well - and I am type 2 diagnosed 3 months ago - my HB thingy test was 8.6% then - and today they said my test taken last week was 6% which I am dead chuffed about! Also my cholesterol has come down - I am doing the low carb route and it has definitely worked for me. Thanks to everyone here for...

I agree with the above, I am T2 - diagnosed a month ago - I did the nurses advice for 2 weeks and couldn't understand my blood test results still being high - although I was losing weight - my results 2hours after food were around 12 - now after food they are more like 6 - 9 which is much more...

Macadamias are crunchie-ish then creamy as you chew... I love them. They have a subtle flavour which is gentler than some of the walnuts or hazelnuts of the world - which can be sour sometimes. Buying nuts which have been packaged up for Christmas is often a better deal (and better nuts) than...
